During its regular meeting Monday night, Campbellsville City Council members approved a proposal from Environmental Credit Corp., a New York-based company that wants to burn methane produced at the City's landfill, reducing harmful emissions into the environment.

U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis will be at Campbellsville University tomorrow at 1:30 to announce that he will be placing his official congressional papers at CU.

Having Lewis' congressional papers at CU means that the official records of his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives will be permanently retained as a collection at Campbellsville University and made available for future review and research.

The papers of such long-serving officials is a valued addition to a university library and archives.

If you're looking for decorating ideas this holiday season, or simply wish to spend a Sunday afternoon socializing, the Campbellsville Woman's Club's annual Christmas Home Tour is the place to be this Sunday.

This year's tour will feature nine Taylor County homes. For $8, an individual can tour all nine homes. Tickets can be purchased at any of the participating homes.

The money raised from this annual event goes to support civic projects of the Campbellsville Woman's Club, including two scholarships to local high school seniors each year.

City Councilman Doug Mullins has received this year's Santa's Helper award for his service to the Campbellsville community.

The Campbellsville Kiwanis Club presents the award each year at Miller Park just before the Thanksgiving holiday. The ceremony coincides with the lighting of Christmas lights at the park. This year's light display extends through the entire length of the park.

According to Kiwanis member Doug Tucker, the award is given to an individual who has contributed to the community in some way, either by volunteering or benefiting a large number of people.

Are you a woman in transition? Would you like to know your personal strengths and aspirations? Does an opportunity to build your self-esteem and confidence appeal to you?

Would you like to be an example and inspiration to your family and community? Are you capable of becoming self-sufficient? Would you like to have a permanent support system? Did you know there is a program, available at no cost, to make these dreams a reality?

The annual exhibit is considered by art critics to be one of the top national watercolor exhibitions. This year's exhibit - which features prominent artists from across the country - includes exhibiting 70 paintings.

The Holiday Helpline will be open again this year to coordinate local holiday giving.

The Helpline will accept calls for one week only - from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, Dec. 1-5. All calls need to be made during that time. The telephone number to call is 849-2363.

Organizers said they want to emphasize that the Helpline is for families who would not otherwise have Christmas. The helpline is a joint effort by agencies in the community to coordinate holiday giving in order that those in need receive help and all needs are met.
